Hello everyone! I guess this is the beginning of my journey, although I guess it's not the first beginning. I just turned 24 and I decided it was a good time to start a new life. A life without fapping. I started at least 10 years ago, and while I have gone varying periods without, porn and masturbation have consumed me ever since. I shrink at the thought of how much time I have lost to it and the damage it has caused directly or indirectly to personal relationships among other things. About 5 years ago I attempted to stop by joining the Nofap community on reddit, but a friend later shamed me and I promptly left. The longest I have made it is probably about 6 months while I was on a religious mission, and that's mostly because I just had so much to do, because boredom is definitely one of my triggers. However, now I truly want it to end. I want to spend that valuable time strengthening relationships, pursuing hobbies, and I just want to feel better about myself. I know this will help. That's why I'll be doing Hard Mode, starting with 90 days! While I regret the time I've lost to porn and masturbation, I look forward to a life without it. This fapstronaut is lifting off today!
